Abia Web3 & Digital Economy Conference (AWDEC 2026)

The Abia Web3 & Digital Economy Conference (AWDEC 2026) is a two-day continental gathering held under the theme 'Building the Digital Economy.' Organized by the Abia Web3 Network in partnership with Block-Scholars Africa and TGIB, and convened by Raphael Omochor, the event aims to position Abia State—particularly the commercial hub of Aba—as a rising force in Africa's blockchain and digital economy landscape, part of the emerging 'Silicon Delta' corridor. With over 2,000 attendees expected from Nigeria and beyond, the program includes keynote sessions, panel discussions, masterclasses, hands-on developer workshops, blockchain literacy programs, startup showcases, exhibitions, and curated networking sessions.

The target audience spans policymakers, regulators, founders, developers, investors, financial institutions, corporate leaders, creators, students, and Web3 communities. Attendees should expect practical, action-oriented sessions focused on Web3 adoption, fintech growth, entrepreneurship, and digital infrastructure, alongside opportunities to connect with startups, investors, and ecosystem partners. AWDEC 2026 is especially valuable for anyone interested in Africa's blockchain growth story, youth-driven innovation, and the 'Aba-Made' entrepreneurial spirit, offering a credible platform for visibility, collaboration, and tangible business outcomes.
